I tried login as root and got a # prompt. Then tried system-config-display and X started and showed a config screen where I could set the colors to thousands (corresponds to depth 16) and the screen to a Generic LCD panel with resolution 1024x768. However, when I hit the OK button the panel disappeared and there was only a blank black screen in front of me.... Only way out was a reset of the PC followed by a renewed boot with the extra parameters but now without 3. This brought me finally through it all without corruption and on to a login screen where I could get into Fedora as root and add users etc. I have yet to see how I can get the system to reboot without interference with the extra parameters, though. Question: Is there some config app where the boot options can be set or do I have to manually edit grub.conf???
No, you just have to manually edit grub.conf and make the permanent changes you want. (just to be safe you might want to make a backup first 'cp grub.cong grub.conf.backup')
